[Name Removed] provided a thorough tour of the facility. He answered all of our questions and showed us the senior and assisted living areas in case Mom should need to transition at some point. Residents made Mom feel welcome. Most importantly, Mom was the focal point of the tour, which conveyed she played an active rather than passive role in the process.

Excellent care, lacking in phone answering/response.

APFM found it for me! It was PERFECT for my friend who resided there! The warm staff, the beautiful structure, interior, & garden! The rates-very competitive! I would HIGHLY recommend PGSL for anyone looking for a retirement or assisted living facility- First Rate!!

The guide was professional and gracious. She took me through the facility with complete patience to my many questions. I also received a folder with detailed information of everything that she talked about. I’m still able bodied and will remain in my home until I see that I can no longer maintain the upkeep. Also, I am still looking into various other senior housing alternatives.

Beautiful facility, well located with friendly, knowledgeable staff. A great place for a senior in need of a supportive environment. A clean well appointed building located in Pacific Grove. A great place for walks and enjoying the beauty of the Monterey Peninsula. I was particularly impressed by the welcoming staff.

Review for Pacific Grove Senior Living

[name removed] stayed in one of their senior apartments. He had access to the main building which is lovely. There's a library with a piano and a "bistro bar" make your own coffee. They had frequent entertainment that [name removed] enjoyed. The senior residences are a bit on the rundown side, but worked well for [name removed]. I don't know the actual independent and assisted living facilities, but what I've seen looks nice. They have a nice dining room. The staff were personable. The community were friendly with
